Naraya Ryokan

Awesome stay!

Reviewed By sbest2048

There isn’t much I can add to all the 5-star reviews already written about this lovely Ryokan. I was a little bit wary as the price for a traditional room was at the upper-end of my typical hotel budget but I would certainly stay again! Every inch of this place is authentic and immaculate. Because it is so small, we rarely ran into other guests, and almost always had the Onsen bath to ourselves. The dinner and breakfast simply blew me away with the detail, flavor, and service - well worth the price. Looking forward to a return visit.

Good value kaiseki dinner

Reviewed By sokmn

We didn’t stay here, only had the kaiseki dinner. Saw an ad for it, only cost JPY 3300 for the kaiseki dinner, which I thought was a pretty good price. It was not disappointing at all! Traditional and had lots of local produce, and we were full at the end. They also didn’t mind our kids shared the food instead of making additional bookings. The dining room was beautiful and had screens between each table so we had privacy. The only thing negative was most of the food was already laid on the table so it was a bit confusing for us, which one to eat first (is there an order at all..?). The lady owner was also friendly and gave a very warm welcome.

One of the Very Best

Reviewed By chackeridge

We have just spent a glorious week in this wonderful hotel. We have travelled the world and stayed in many great hotels but we would rate this as one of the very best. As a Ryokan, it is a traditional Japanese hotel. It is so welcoming and full of character that staying there is a real pleasure. Our day started with a breakfast served by the attentive dining room staff, we had our separate cubicle. However, the highlight was the daily visit to bath in the hotel's own onsen (Japanese Spa Bath). We can truly say that we were treated like royalty, as were all of the guests. Nozawa Onsen is a delightful ski resort and Tokiwaye Ryokan is the gem in its heart.

Good views, at the top of town

Reviewed By normr512

This was suggested to us by our travel agent as the better place to stay in Nozawa. It was OK and comfortable enough. We were sold the room with a private onsen - which was smaller than our bath at home. It is just big enough for one person. However, the larger guest onsen (seperate men and women) and the public onsen in the hotel offer a much better experience. The buffet breakfast is standard fare. The hotel is a short walk from anywhere in town. For anyone with mobility issues Nozawa will present difficulties.

Superb meal

Reviewed By Hallomega

I visited this ryokan for their seasonal kaiseki meal and was not disappointed. Excellent and timely service was provided by the young Vietnamese waitress as course after course followed. A menu in English was very useful to explain each dish. The food was beautifully presented and each morsel was delicious. Highly recommended.

Very basic and small (with traditional tatami)

Reviewed By Gus O

Labelled as traditional which can translate into very small, and uncomfortable. Not suited for a ski/board trip. No power in bathroom and nowhere really to get ready. No hooks to hang wet gear. No curtains, so light was an issue. Walls were very thin, so if you have noisy neighbours, expect to be woken up. Recommend ear plugs and eye patches. Wifi didn’t work in room. Don’t mean for this to sound quite so negative, as staff were nice and if you’re after traditional accommodation, this is good for you. If not doing a snow holiday probably quite nice as well.

Great place to stay

Reviewed By soff01

We really enjoyed our stay here. It is a good location and comfortable inside. The breakfast was good, different food every second day and some aspects different every day. No coffee though. The rooms were really nice and comfortable. We were in a Japanese style room though and they did forget to make our bed up so we had to request it be done. We found the bed to be super thin, even for Japanese style so we did not sleep that well. On one of the nights, there was no hot water. The onsen was great. The outdoor onsen seemed to be a bit mossy/water had things in it but we presumed that was meant to be. The indoor onsen was spotless. I would probably book it again.

Service That Stands Out

Reviewed By sierramcleod

I stayed here in January of 2020. The hotel staff felt like family by the end of our stay. Free, homemade toiletries bag is given to each guest at the beginning of the stay. Walking distance to the local shops and restaurants, though far enough away to not get any noise during the night. The hotel is located at the top of a large, steep hill. I would advise guests that have large amounts of luggage or who cannot walk long, steep distances to organise transport to the hotel.

Great comfortable stay!

Reviewed By Sharni W

This place was a highlight of our trip. The hosts are an adorable older couple. When we arrived the man whipped out his little google translator and spoke to us via this. He was able to easily show us where the shuttle bus timetables were and explain everything about the accommodation. Breakfast was included and cooked fresh for us every morning. The hosts were super friendly. If you learn a few small Japanese phrases they are grateful and it really puts a smile on their faces. The room was super clean and comfortable. The location was great. A short walk into the main town and right next to a ski shuttle pick up spot. Highly recommended!!
